Especially for young people (age fifteen and under) this area of Disney's Animal Kingdom will encourage education and exploration. Ages sixteen and over should spend their time seeing other parts of the park. The focus is on conservation and protecting our planet and its wildlife.

The Conservation Station

This facility combines hands-on displays, live animal displays, and a chance to see some of the park's veterinary facilities, animal nurseries, and even where some of the food for the animals in the park gets prepared. Upon arriving at Conservation Station, guests can roam freely and see everything at their own pace. Plenty of animal experts are on hand to answer questions and conduct various types of demonstrations.

Affection Section

Designed for young children, Affection Section is a petting zoo where guests can get up close to animals, pet them, and have pictures taken with them. Guests are welcome to spend as much time as they'd like in this area and proceed at their own pace. Kids who will be interacting with the animals are encouraged to wash their hands both prior to and after touching the animals. For parents, this area offers wonderful photo opportunities.

Look Backstage!

Inside the Hall of Animal Care, guests get to see many animal experts, including vets, researchers, and keepers, work with live animals. This is an educational area where the animals are the stars. Animal experts are always on hand to answer questions. One of the favorite parts of this exhibit is the baby mammal nurseries.

There are interactive exhibits that allow guests of all ages to use touch-screen computers to learn more about animals and their habitats.
